Loss of Oxygen: Like any living tissue, oxygen is supplied to the heart by coronary arteries. If the arteries are blocked and a particular area of heart does not get oxygen, it may suffer lack of oxygen or death of tissue cells called myocardial infarction. There are 3 coronary arteries that supply different areas of the heart muscle. Left coronary & circumflex artery supplies leftside and right coronary, right.

Doctors says its possible that the left side of my heart isn't getting enough oxygen. Why would this be? And is there treatment for it?

HR is always within normal range, oxygen is perfect, heart rhythm is perfect. For some reason, though, I feel like my heart has been beating very HARD recently. Even when Im trying to go to sleep or Im just sitting down. Is this something serious?
